They took Mr. Dussel in because they wanted to help him to go into hiding. Anne Frank was excited she was going to have someone to talk with but after some time with Dussel, she couldn't stand him.
The name is actually Alfred Dussel, as given by Anne. His ttue name was Fritz Pfeffer and he was a dentist by trade. He was the eighth and last person to go into hiding in the Secret Annex. He shared a room with Anne for about eighteen months and, considering the difference in their personalities, never got along too well. Perhaps Anne's youth and emerging puberty added to her dislike of Herr Pfeffer as she called him Dussel (nitwit).

she always used the room when Mr.Dussel needed to go into it. she was very selfish.
The family was sent to Auschwitz in 1941
they hid in the secret annex at Otto's work place
Peters cat Mouschi was either thrown out by Mr. vandan and Mr. Dussel or was eaten by the many hungry Netherlanders. No joke! Food shortage forced many people to resort to eating pets or DachHunchen ( German for roof chicken one of the many nicknames for roasted cats)
Mr. Dussel joins the group because he needs to go into hiding since he has Jewish background.
It was on Sunday, July 5th, 1942 when Anne was notified by her father that she would be hiding out in the Secret Annex. Once she got there, it was on Wednesday, July 8th, 1942.
Mr. Dussle did hide in the Secret Annex with the Franks. However he did not go into hiding at the same time the Franks did. The Franks went first, then the Van Daans, then Mr. Dussle became the 8th member several months later.
Margot received a letter saying to report for deportation to a concentration camp
Charlotta Koletta was the girlfriend of Secret Annex resident, the dentist Dr. Dussel. The pair had fled Germany some years earlier. Although they presented themselves as a married couple, they were not. Charlotta was a Christian, and the laws forbade her to marry the Jewish dentist. After Dr. Dussel went into hiding with the Franks, Charlotta sent him care packages through Miep Gies; a very dangerous thing to do. Anne mentions several times in her diary that Dussel refused to share his goodies with the rest of the Annex. Dussel died in a concentration camp in 1944. After the war, Charlotta was able to marry Dr. Dussel posthumously; Otto Frank helped her arrange this. She was then eligible to receive government payments. Dussel had a son, Peter, from his first marriage. Peter was sent to England as a child, to escape the Nazi's. He was furious that Charlotta was receiving money that he felt should go to him. He wrote Charlotta at least one hateful letter about it, and he also wrote to Mr. Frank. Otto Frank attempted to bring about a reconciliation between the two, but was not successful. Charlotta and Otto Frank were friends. Some sources indicate she had a romantic interest in him. He took her to Switzerland to meet his mother and other relatives, but the visit was not a success. She returned home angry, and their friendship cooled. When Anne's diary was published, Charlotta was furious at the many negative references to Dr. Dussel. She broke off all contact with Mr. Frank and Miep Gies. She died in 1985, leaving no know family. Her belongings were sent to a flea market, where an employee of the Secret Annexe discovered them. Included were several books belonging to Dr. Dussel, and many pictures. These items are now part of the Secret Annexe.
